Pretty fun (and easy) quests overall. The Spectral Essence is the trinket that allows you to see the vendor (https://classic.wowhead.com/?npc=11278) in the little town outside Scholomance. The vendor carries the Major Mana recipe, as well some others ( https://classic.wowhead.com/?npc=11278#M0zc ). So, if Gandling hasn't dropped the recipe for you yet, you can still purchase it if you don't feel like getting robbed at the auction house. :)

is this the quest that gives the trinket to see the ghosts outside Scholomance? how come it's not in the quest reward? what's the name of trinket? i can't find it

Comment by Thottbot

After you do this quest, Krastinov will drop additional blood in the future. So more runs of Kirtonos will require hitting Krastinov first for the summoning.

Comment by Thottbot

if i end those 3 quests, can i choiche the peneople rose?

greetz blood

Comment by Thottbot

How do I get more blood? I failed the quest at first. I'm afraid of abandoning the quest, if I don't get it back.

Comment by Thottbot

When you get to this quest and summon Kirtonos. If he DOES NOT DROP Boots of Valor, then ABANDON the quest and talk to the spirit outside Scholomance and she will give u the quest AGAIN and ANOTHER BLOOD OF INNOCENTS. So u can summon him over and over until he drops ur Boots of Valor, and then turn in the quest.

I didnt dawn on me to do that until after i turned in the quest and now its the last piece i need and have to rely on others that are on that part to summon him for my boots.

Or i can kill 3 mobs in Scholomance for a chance they will drop another blood, Krastinov The Butcher, Jandice Barov (pain in the ars to get to) and the Blood Steward of Kirtonos who is in the first room u get to in the far right corner (looks like a Succubus (chic with wings)).

Comment by Thottbot

U don't need to repeat the quest... When u have copleted it u just need to kill the succubus in the first room and she'll dropps the blood 100% !

Comment by Thottbot

That room has a good chance of aggroing unwanted mobs and is generally a pain to get to her in the first place. I think it's easier to take out about 5 groups of mobs which could take about 2 minutes each and then take down Kirtonos. It could take about 10-15 minutes for each run and the only setback would be the limit for killing a boss per hour. In other words, the Boots of Valor is pretty easy to get and besides that, you can get an easy Scourgestone and a good blue that Kirtonos drops.

Comment by Thottbot

Do you have to choose between all three rewards or just between Mirah's Song and Penelope's Rose?

Basically, I'm asking if you get the trinket and one of the Blue's as a reward.

Comment by Thottbot

slaire, yes you do get both the trinket and a choice between one of the blues

Where is Kitornos and the patio located in Scholo.

Tks for the info.

Comment by Thottbot

Go down the stairs, thru the 3 closed gates to the room with the summoners, necros standing around pits of bones, summoning skeletons. There you can go straight on, or to the right, go to the right and you can see out of scholo, down the stair there you have the brazier.

Comment by Thottbot

This is the end? I remember there being a person u had to speak with after this, I haven't done this chain in like 1 year tho, can anyone confirm?

Comment by Thottbot

what if you throw away your spectral essence can you get another one? i already did the quest you get from the guy inside the castle thing in caer darrow is there a reason to keep it for longer?

Comment by Thottbot

If you fail this quest, you can abandon and re-take it. You Will need to reset the instance to "summon" Kirtonos again.

I managed to solo up to Kirtonos the Herald late one night (shadow priest) - and stayed in the instance until guildies came on in the morning - all the while i was running back and forth keeping the path clear by taking out the mobs as they respawned.(used a lot of spare armour bits and ran out of food and water though).

I gave a shout, guildies came down and ran straight through to help me kill Kirtonos the Herald. He is in this room that has a big window overlooking the lake. (just off of the Chamber of Summoning).Would of gone smoothly but he has some kind of kick - or knockedback, and right near the end as he only had a little smudge of health left - he knocked me straight out the room into the lake. Next thing i know as im typing "i got knocked out the room" - the other priest comes flying out too. (git).

So beware his knockback effect. I had to abandon the quest and re-take it to get more blood, and reset the instance to get Kirtonos to respawn.

2nd attempt we had a pet (bat) tank him as we did very slow dps, with me pw shielding the bat, and the other priest healing the bat.Didn't see any kind of knockback the second time...

So thats definite, once you've completed the quest you can return and the blood will still drop for you?

Comment by Allakhazam

as of my posting this. it seems the trinket's aura will only apply to me if i completely unequip one trinket, then place this in it's spot. if i try to right click to hotswap this with another, it will equip but i will not be able to see the ghosts. just tried this a few times to make sure

Comment by Allakhazam

This guy is important to us warriors who want the full set of valor, as he is the only one who drops our valor boots at a 10% rate. I’m assuming that once you get the blood from the bag, you can not get it again to summon him after you complete this quest. The other mobs that are shown to drop the blood are:

I’ve kill the Dr a bunch in a raid, and have yet to see the blood drop, so it must only be a party drop from all these 3 mobs correct? The stats above are also counting raid kill drops. Do any valor boot wearing warriors out there know if this blood drops off these mobs at a 100% in a group? This would at least make it a little easier … I dread having to farm these mobs with a 5 man party just to get a chance to get the blood, summon Krinotos, and then have a 10% chance to get a valor boot drop …

you can choose between the sword or a flower (offhand stat item), and will also recive:

First attempt was a disater. Our druid died i then died, pala ressed the druid..and says "loot time"..i get ressed and its too late the group loots without me and worse the boots of valor drop. I was gutted

Second attempt we killed him (different group) and the boots didnt drop

Now i need to get more of the Bool of the innocents.

Comment by Allakhazam

Can it be done with 10 man, or must you kill Kirtonos with 5?

Comment by Allakhazam

Once you have done the quest and summoned kirtinos and completed the quest, you will be able to loot more blood from the bosses in scholomance. In my experience it drops of a random boss, so if you for example skip jandice (which i often do if possible) you might not get new blood since it is jandice dropping blood this scholo run. I have looted it from several different bosses there, so its not just krastinov or kirtinos that drops it.

1st attempt: kirtonos punted the priest out the window and into the lake

2nd attempt: blizz lag spike... i died first and watched kirtonos autoattack the party to death one by one while everyone was dc'd

3rd attempt: dude left the blood in if

Comment by Allakhazam

I have fought him before the patch and it was a tough fight. He would punt ppl all over the place and when you were punted you lost aggro and he would attack the next highest aggro (usually a cloth wearer). But fought him again last night and he would control players and make them heal him. So you fight like hell to get him down to 50% then he controls a player to heal him back to 100%. We had a good experienced group, but we didn't even come close. On hindsight I would try to clear the room above him completely and then have the tank pull him into the room and have the healers just within range of healing. Maybe they will be out of range for Kirtonos to control, because your only other option is to fight him without a healer anywhere close.

He followup to this quest (The Human, Ras Frostwhisper) is now broken. The "Specral Essence" is required to see and speak with the questgiver, but since the questgiver is inside the building (which counts as Scholomance, not Caer Darrow), the trinket no longer works inside and you can no longer see him to get the quest.

Even though it has always said that it only works on Caer Darrow, the "Spectral Essence" used to work anywhere, which is how some Priests were getting their Splinter of Nordrassil before they had their eye from Majordomo's chest. Blizzard "fixed" it so that it really does only work on Caer Darrow, and in the process they broke this questline.

With the death of Kirtonos, a chapter in the horrible tale of Scholomance comes to a close. There is, however, more to be done. Others here are now aware of your brave acts. Take this, <name>. It is a piece of our own essence. It will allow you to communicate with the other lost souls of Caer Darrow.
